Overview

"The new editions of the ""Legal Practice Course Guides"" have been revised, expanded and updated to take account of the many changes in legislation and course structure that have happened in the last year. Each guide explains the relevant substantive and procedural law, and where appropriate, contains sample precedents, documents and checklists. The books provide a guide to the law, practice and procedure which is at the heart of the course, forming a bridge between the notes, exercises and case studies produced by each institution and the ""raw material"" found in the practitioner texts. This step-by-step guide to conveyancing procedure and the relevant law lays an appropriate foundation to both domestic and commercial conveyancing for students studying conveyancing as part of the Legal Practice Course. It should also be of use to practitioners. This edition incorporates recent developments in conveyancing law and practice, including the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996, the Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) act 1995 and the new Solicitors' Practice Rule 6. Each stage of the text is exemplified through a straightforward case study and illustrated by appropriate documentation. P.H. Kenny and Russell Hewitson are co-authors of ""Blackstone's Guide to Landlord and Tenant Covenants: The New Law in Practice""."
